The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest days Norilsk has
recorded — the outer limits of what its weather can do, and how far
they sit beyond a normal day.
Based on 34 years of daily weather observations (1991–present), from the Noril'sk station 3 km away. Updated through August 2025 — an all-time extreme only changes when a more extreme day actually occurs, so some dates are old. That is normal, not stale data.
The four kinds of extreme
The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest single days Norilsk

In plain terms
In a normal year, Norilsk's warmest days reach the mid-50s°F and its coldest nights drop to the low 40s°F. But across the record it has gone as high as 90°F and as low as −64°F. A single day has delivered over 4 inches of rain. Those are the outer edges worth knowing if you are moving here, planning a trip, or thinking about a house.
